Golden Bauhinia Square 金紫荊廣場
Beside the Convention Centre on the Wan Chai waterfront, the six-metre gilded Golden Bauhinia statue marks Hong Kong's 1997 handover and has become a fixture on every first-time itinerary.
A flag-raising ceremony is held daily at 8am, with sweeping Victoria Harbour views as a backdrop.
